The Red River Valley elevator, which
was burned last Saturday, will be rebuilt
just AZ soon az the weather permits, and
probably on larger scale than before,
although that point has not yet been de-
fnitely decided. At the time of the fire
there were about q, 900 bushels Of wheat
in store, and about 5000 bushels of that
amount was burned. The rest will be
saved, though in a somewhat damaged
condition from heat and smoke. The
damaged wheat was sold to D. A. Martin,
of Milwaukee, for $1,000. Most of the
wheat will be shipped.
The dance at tho Orvis house Tuesday

Knew he Would Win It.

Jake Dobmeier, the Grand Forks brew
or, and one of the luckiest men in the
country, was in town Thursday. One
instance of Jake's luck, related by Ar
thur Noyes, his attorney, will suffice.
Jake had some trouble with man named
Brown and got into court as defendant.
He related tho circumstances to the
court about as follows: "Brown he
called me liar and some more bad
dings, und ven he got up his face vas all
bluded. I dink he hit himself nit a
schled-stake."
The verdict was against Jake, and the
only way out was to take an appeal.
Being told by his attorney that this was
the case, he said: "Peal it up, Artur,
peal it up; de brewery goes."
So an appeal was taken; and when the
time came Brown, who had in tho mean.
time committed some kind of deprcda.
ton necessitating his skipping the coun.
try, was not to be found. Noyos sent
for Jake and told him Brown had run
away and the case was probably at ar
end. Jake replied: "vell, knowod ve

young. There was large gathering at
the rink in the evening; the 22d having
been selected as the date upon which the
band would entertain their friends. The
lunch served by the ladies of tho NJ. r.
church during the day was supplement-
ed by an oyster supper at midniget
under the same auspices, and tho vo,
taries of Terpsichore who attended the
rink turned out in considerable number
to do justice to the bivalyes. Alto
gether, Georges anniversary was appro-

Oatmeal ana Piety.

When the Scotchman leaves his native
shores he carries with him wholesome
appreciation of oatmeal and the observ-
ance of the Lords Day." We have
most Of US heard Of the honest Caledon-
ian who could forgive his Mormonized
brother everything but his renunciation
Of the national dish The following in
cident shows that tho Scotchmans re-
gard for ''the Sawbath" may survive the
extinction of all other pious impulses.
During recent Sunday forenoon the
boarders Of Il chewing establishment in
this citv, with their friends, were gath
cred together in the hotel office. intent
on the varied forms of loafing that pass
current for keeping Sunday in Dakota.
Among them was a tall, raw-boned son
of Caledonia who the previous night had
been regaling us with some rather Don
Juanliko episodes in his life, in which
he had personally filled the title-role.
But change had come over the spirit of
his dream-for it was Sunday-and our
friend from tho land o. cakes was en-
gagged in quiet and presumably pi0us
conversation with a fellow boarder.
But what dreadful sound il that which,
breaks in upon his religious medita-
tions? It is the voice of one who recks
not Of tho volcano of religious zeal slum-
bering so near him, calling in mild &C.
cents for a game of euchre! We should
need an artists power to portray the
mingled horror and indignation depicted
on Scotty's face az he turned to the luck
less offender-a quiet and rather we'll be-
haved youth and the pious JUNCTION
with which, having characterized this
particular transgressor az a"heepokrit,
he expressed his general contempt for
'ony man that wad play cards on Sun
day" is far beyond our skill to describe
in words. We were duly impressed, we
hope. But through it all we could not
help recalling the lines in which an old
poet mathematical the secret sins and
outward Observances of the Puritans-
compound for sins they feel inclined to,
BY damning those they have no mind TO-"
and while we agreed with our Scotch
friend that there was 'heepokrit" In
the house, strangely enough he did not
seem to stand in the poor car ..p ayers
